The quality of their work is similar to Maaco except they at least use better paint. When I asked they told me they do not even offer a warranty on their body work and paint is only 2 years. Seeing as there is literally cracking bondo under the fresh paint on my "new OEM Honda rear quarter panel" that was welded in, I can understand why there is no real warranty. They are cons.

I can only speak about Alex and say that I've only had good experiences with him.

With that being said, I'm sorry that you've had such a crappy experience with their collision repair. I had something very similar happen with a different shop and had to chalk it up to lesson learned. At least you got a partial refund; something more than I got.

He spoke competently enough but he a) lied to me about the used quarter he put on my car and b) put a non-defrost top on the car when it is wired for a defroster. Not only a liar but also incompetent.

don't think the op cares to elaborate on that further...when he already stated it in the original post.

he stated that he did not want the spoiler and that they "worked it out".

it is unclear whether the car has a spoiler on it now.
